About Us

The story of Advantage Disposal begins all the way back in 1959, when the family company was first established. Our owner was born into the garbage collection business and started out by working alongside his father. Then, he started his own business in 1987 and changed its name to Advantage Disposal in 2008. And we’ve been providing the same high-quality service the whole time.

A Garbage Pickup Company Focused on Community

At Advantage Disposal, we believe we provide a much-needed service to the Schenectady area. With our community-driven garbage removal services, we seek to improve the lives of all of our customers and neighbors. Not only are we actively involved in the community and local charities, but we also take great pains to ensure neat and tidy garbage and recycling pick up no matter what. So whether you’re a small business owner, a manager of an apartment complex, or an average homeowner, you can rest easy. We’ll provide you with responsible, dependable recycling and trash pickup service.

Happy to Accommodate Special Requests

One of the biggest things that sets us apart from the big-name garbage collection companies is that we’re more than willing to respond to our customers’ unique needs. You can contact us with a special request—for example, if you have a lot of extra trash or large items to unload—and we’ll do our best to take care of it. Moreover, we offer what we call “backdoor services.” This means we’ll come straight to a customer’s door to take their trash in situations where the customer is elderly, disabled, or otherwise unable to put their trash can out on the curb themselves. What other residential or commercial waste collection company offers that kind of customer care?

Garbage Collection Service, the Old-Fashioned Way

Because we’ve been around for a while, we know what works and what doesn’t. That’s why Advantage Disposal prefers doing garbage pickup the old-fashioned way: by hand. We don’t like using those mechanical arms you see on trucks from big-name companies. Those end up spilling garbage on your lawn and dropping your trash can carelessly. We prefer personally picking up your trash because this is the best way to ensure we deliver the most satisfying job. Your lawn will be left spotless and your trash can will be returned right where you left it.

So are you ready to stop being just another number and start being a valued customer? Talk to Advantage Disposal today about your trash and recycling pick up needs. We’ll be happy to work out a solution for your trash and recycling collection needs and give you a free estimate. Call today!
